The introduction
of the Carbonite
application for
BlackBerry
smartphones is the
latest in a series
of mobile and remote
product innovations
from Carbonite to
provide its
customers with
real-time access to
their files.
Carbonite provides
customers with
remote file access
from any computer
with an Internet
connection through
Carbonite Remote
Access and released
an application for
iPhone ™ /iPod touch
® earlier this year.
In addition to
announcing an
application for use
with BlackBerry
phones, Carbonite
also is introducing
an upgrade to its
application for
iPhone, version 1.1.
"We know our
customers are
constantly on-the-go
and have found great
value in quickly
being able to access
their files," said
Carbonite CEO and
co-founder David
Friend. "Many
Carbonite
subscribers are
small businesses who
use the standard
Carbonite product or
Carbonite Pro, which
we debuted earlier
this year. Many of
these business users
rely on their
BlackBerry
smartphones and now
will not only be
able to access
e-mail and the Web,
but also all of
their invaluable
files they have
backed up. The
Carbonite
application for
BlackBerry
smartphones
continues our
commitment to
simplicity. With
just a few clicks on
their BlackBerry
phone, a Carbonite
subscriber can
easily find an
invoice from their
computer and e-mail
it to a customer or
view photos they
have backed up."
The Carbonite
application for
BlackBerry
smartphones supports
BlackBerry
smartphones running
OS 4.6.1 and with a
screen resolution of
240x320 and higher,
including the
following devices:

As part of its
on-going mobile
access strategy,
Carbonite also
introduced the 1.1
version of the
Carbonite for iPhone

addition to
integrating feedback
from application
users, the new
version provides
support for
Carbonite Pro
customers and allows
anyone to sign up
for a free trial of
Carbonite directly
in the application.
